Feral cats are a growing concern all over Mesa County and the answer to our worries may be to do absolutely nothing.

The Roice Hurst Humane Society has been working in conjunction with organizations like CLAWS and the Mesa County Animal Services to educate the public on how to combat the issue of feral cats.

Experts from animal agencies agree that letting nature run its course through life cycles and predator activity reduces feral cat populations without our own human interference.

“Just leave them be, they're more afraid of you than you are of them, and again, unless you corner them or threaten them, they will leave you alone,” says Chris George of the Roice Hurst Humane Society.
